Thonga Beach Lodge

Thonga Beach Lodge is situated on the pristine shores of the Elephant Coast, set in a beautiful coastal dune forest with sweeping views of the spectacular beach below.

Carefully constructed into the coastal dune forest, Thonga has just 12 luxury rooms. The spacious, thatched suites are raised on wooden stilts to ensure no harm comes to the sensitive dunes and are carefully positioned to guarantee guest privacy. Some rooms offer sea views and all have private balconies. The en suite rooms have a bathroom with bath, shower and twin vanity. Every suite has air conditioning.

The dining area – a large thatched 'rondavel' - opens on to an expansive wooden deck, where guests can enjoy Maputuland's weather and the lodge's delicious meals.

Mabibi offers superb snorkelling opportunities with a great diversity of underwater seascapes and marine flora and fauna. The shallow reefs along this protected stretch of coastline are home to an array of sub-tropical fish including moorish idols, parrot fish and blue surgeons. Scuba diving here is phenomenal, with reefs located a short distance from the lodge. The professional lodge diving team accommodates all enthusiasts, from the beginner to the veteran, providing a tour of the very best the reefs have to offer. The lodge's boat launches from straight in front of the lodge directly through the surf.
